🐟Cookiecutter shark

Isistius brasiliensis (Quoy & Gaimard, 1824)

Rekin foremkowy (Isistius brasiliensis) – gatunek niewielkiego rekina z rodziny scymnowatych (Dalatiidae), zamieszkującego głębiny oceaniczne strefy zwrotnikowej. Po raz pierwszy ten gatunek opisali francuscy naukowcy Jean René Constant Quoy i Joseph Paul Gaimard. Nadali mu nazwę Scymnus brasiliensis, ponieważ pierwszy okaz wyłowili niedaleko brzegów Brazylii. Jego bliskim krewniakiem jest Isistius plutodus.
